Another quote from Hefetz’s essay:
Historian Professor Moshe Zimmermann spoke in the parliament of the state of Saxony in Germany, and said that the lesson from the Holocaust should be universal, meaning also applicable regarding Israel. The monitoring institution decided that this was a comparison of Israel to the Nazi regime, and this too became an “antisemitic incident.” Since these institutions know they are embarrassing themselves, they don’t say that this involves an Israeli Jew (from a family of German Holocaust survivors), but rather encode him in their data as a “speaker.” This is also true regarding every Jew who went out to demonstrate against the genocide in Gaza since October 7th with a sign identifying him as such: all members of the organization “Jewish Voice for Peace,” and also others who are not members of the organization who did so, were arrested by the police, received complaints that were later cancelled (for incitement and use of symbols contrary to the German constitution). I myself was arrested five times. These cases feed the statistics of “antisemitic incidents in Germany.“
